DSB launches UPI service for OTC derivatives

Related Topics

The Derivatives Service Bureau (DSB), a source of global reference data for over the counter (OTC) derivatives, has launched the Unique Product Identifier (UPI) Service, enabling firms to create and search for UPIs.

The UPI, an International Organisation of Standardizsation standard (ISO 4914 UPI), has been developed to enable aggregation of OTC derivatives transactions reported to trade repositories so that authorities can monitor the build-up of systemic risk at a global level. The DSB is designated by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) as the sole UPI Service Provider to support the creation and distribution of UPIs globally.

UPI reporting starts in the major derivatives markets in 2024, with the United States’s rules applying from 29 January 2024, the EU EMIR Refit regulations from 29 April 2024, followed by UK EMIR Refit from 30 September 2024. Australia and Singapore have announced that UPI reporting will commence in October 2024, and the compliance start date proposed for Japan is April 2025. More G20 jurisdictions are expected to announce their UPI rules in the coming months.

Users of the UPI Service can create UPIs for all products from the 16 October 2023. In addition, to complement user creation of UPIs, the DSB will start a pre-population process, assigning a UPI to each existing OTC International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) record, which will be completed in advance of 29 January 2024, the start of the US reporting requirement.

For streamlined user onboarding, the DSB has developed a self-service Client Onboarding and Support Platform (COSP), that enables users to subscribe to the UPI Service and guides them through the onboarding process. Via the COSP, users can manage connectivity to both the UPI test and live environments, sign the UPI subscription form, provide billing details, complete API certification (where relevant) and raise support tickets.
